Really, you got all these beautiful shots without photo-editing software? Wow, I envy your talent, patience and devotion. Have a lot to learn from you. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope to hear from you soon.

Whoa there tiger! No I didn’t get those shots without using editing software but my point is that you should keep trying to make the shots themselves better and better before you get them into software.

Good advice but also a reality that digital photography and editing whether in camera
depending on mode or post have become in many ways synonymous – maybe there’s a
paleo diet related to editing that leads to a well rounded well versed photographer, which
would be a good thing rather than always counting on editing software.
Best thing is to know your gear and how to get the most out of it.
Photography now more than at any time in it’s past has become an “art form” – as such
presets and the latest and greatest are and will remain innovative and to one degree or another
essential elements.
